I have young sevrums and geophagus in 125 gallon tank. I recently had a fungal outbreak go global in my fish very small fish room. I had a lot of casualties but didn’t lose any sevrums or geophagus. However just as it’s looking like I have this fungus thing turned around with the aquarium salt and big water changes my Super Red Sevrums are flashing, lip locking, and chasing all the other fish away from that corner of the tank. What do I do now? I have no experience breeding fish, I’m still learning how to keep them alive lol. I have a 55 gallon tank cycling right now that I was going to move a few grow outs to. Do I now move the sevrums pair to that tank, or do I not disturb them and their chemistry?

Definitely sounds like spawning behavior . Leave them be and let the parents raise the fry.
